We are looking forward to continuing the tradition established at previous 'r-atics meetings in Nijmegen and Brussels of providing a congenial forum for presentation and discussion of current research on rhotics. Studies addressing this topic often have similar goals and produce mutually informing results, but they are usually presented in distinct contexts, creating a barrier to their integration. Our aim is to ensure a highly focused event, with maximal interaction between the participants. Invited Speakers: Heriberto Avelino, Max-Planck-Institut für Evolutionäre Anthropologie Phil Hoole, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Hans Van de Velde, Universiteit Utrecht Roeland van Hout, Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen Call for Papers: We welcome original papers and posters on research on rhotics. Topics of interest for 'r-atics-3 include, but are not restricted to, the following: - Phonetic diversity of rhotics - Possible phonological unity of rhotics - Sociophonetic variation of rhotics - Diachronic evolution of rhotics - Rhotics in the languages of the world - Rhotics in first and second language acquisition - Rhotics and clinical phonetics Abstracts should not exceed 500 words (exclusive of references) and should clearly state research questions, approach, method and (expected) results. The abstract should not mention the presenter(s) nor their affiliation or address. The name of the presenter(s) should be inserted in the body of the email, along with their affiliation and e-mail address. Submitters must specify if they want their abstract to be considered for a paper; a poster; a paper or poster. Please send your abstract as an attachment (.pdf file) to ratics3unibz.it Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 28-May-2011       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
